Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel welcomed Argentine star Lionel Messi to the club if he decided to leave Barcelona, runners-up to the Spanish soccer league.
Messi, who joined Barcelona at the age of 13, scored 634 goals in 730 games with the Catalan club, and is the most crowned player in the club's history with 33 titles, but the 33-year-old player is in his last year of his contract with the club.
Reports in Spanish media have cast doubts about his future after a disappointing season that capped a humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in this month's Champions League quarter-final.
"He (Messi) is very welcome. Who says no to Messi? I think Messi will end his career in Barcelona. He is the master of Barcelona," the German coach told BT Sport after his team lost 1-0 to Bayern in the Champions League final on Sunday. ".
Tuchel said the club would discuss its goals from the new signings as it needed a larger squad to meet the demands of the new season.
"We lost a lot of players during this season and now we lost Thiago Silva and Eric Maxim Chubu Moting. We want to use the transfer window now to reinforce the squad. The season will be very stressful and without breaks," he added.
